THE KELLY MOTOR.
The Stockholders Still Have Faith
in the Alleged Inventor.

III the AfttSeu tnfSntOf.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1.-THE first
annual meeting of the stockholders of
the Keely Motor company since 1888
was held in this city to day and was at
tended by about seyenty-five stockhold-
ers, representing nearly 10000 shares.
The board of directors in their report
arrive at the following conclusions:
First-The directors are more than
ever satisfied that the enterprise is alb
solntely based upon the application of a
new motive power.
estimated in many particulars the time
necessary to the completion of his
work.
Third-That Notwithstanding the
doubts expressed in some quarters the
board still has high hopes, steady and.
in fact, wonderful progress having been
made in Mr.. Keely's work.
FOurth-That the chief difficulties
have been removed, and we are now in
sight of the results.
Mr.. Keely made a long report in
which he reviews his work since 1882,
when he was engaged in the construc-
ton of generator for the purpose of
securing yapOric or etheric force from
water and air. but which when COM
pleted was found to be impracticable
owing to impossibility of securing
graduation. After a succession of eX-
periments he produced in March, 1885,
what he termed liberator, which could
be operated in conjunction with the
generator, and was vast stride in adj
vance OF anything accomplished hlther-
to. Meanwhile phenomena had been
unfOlded to him, opening new field of
experiment, as the result of which he
and important discovery. Here
after be shall not, he says,
require either the generator or liber-
ator, and his operations will be con-
Quoted without either the vapOric or
etheric forces. What name to give his
new form of force he does not know, but
the basis of it all, he says. is Migratory
sympathy. 1t may be divided, too, into
negative and sympathetic attraction,
these two forms of force being the an
tithesis of each other. He would fix no
time for the completion of his work.
but his ultimate success, he still
holds, will be greater than even
his most sanguine advocates have pre-
dicted. Mr.. Keely admits that it would
have been better, perhaps, at the time
he changed base to have let it be known
than to have encouraged belief that he
was still engaged on his etheric and
vaporic forces. Among the work yet to
be done is the construction of SYM
pathetic machine of a very delicate
character. While this will be perfect
vibratOry structure itself. its function is
to complete the work of graduation or
governing of the force.

The colonel was asked the reason of

Scandinavian farmers living in the

large numbers of these people go home

AN IMPORTANT CASE,
involving Treaty Relations With
Two Countries


WASHINGTON, Dee. 14.-An import
ant case, involving the treaty relations
of the United States with Hawaii and
San Domingo, was argued to-day in the
United States supreme court. The case
stands on the docket as No. 1.0l2,
High Kelly, plaintiff in error,
against Edward l.. Hedden,
collector, in error to the United States
circuit court for the southern district of
New York. The question presented is
the alleged exemption from duty, under
the existing tariff, of products of the
Dominican republic which are identical
in kind with products of the Sandwich
islands admitted free of duty under the
special act of congress, approved Aug.
-, 1876. About twenty years ago the
United States entered into treaty with
the Dominican republic by the terms OF
which each country agreed not to
charge higher import duties on the
products of the other than were imposed
upon like products from any other coun-
try. The importers, who are the plain
tiffS in error in this and another similar
case, claim exemption from duty for
certain sugars and other products
imported by them from San Do
mingO, upon the ground that the
articles were of such a character that
had they been imported from Hawaii
they would have been admitted free of
duty under the treaty between the
United States and Hawaii and the act of
Aug. ID, 1876, enforcing that treaty. The
importers assert that if their contention
is not sustained, the Dominican republic
will be released from its treaty Oblga-
tons by virtue of the failure of the
United States to keep its engagements,
and that San Domingo may then practi-
cally exclude United States manufac-
turerS from her ports by exemptions
and discriminating duties in favor of
the European countries, which are seek
ing the trade of the island.
The United States government on the
the other hand maintains that the treaty
with the Hawaiian islands was not Il
mere reciprocity treaty, but was in sub
stance commercial contract by virtue
of which Hawaii pays valuable coll
sideration for the admi of certain
merchandise to the ports of
the United States. The importations
from that country are not free, but the
nation whence the articles came has
made special bargain by which the ma
ton, and not the importer. pays the
duties. 1t is Furthermore cOntended by
the United States that more
than eleven years have passed
since the PRONUNCIATION OF
the Hawaiian treaty and that although
the products of San Domingo have dur
ing all that time been charged with the
duties now complained of, the Domini-
can government has never alleged VIC
lation of her treaty rights, nor does It
appear that any of her citizens either
in this case or heretofore has complained
of wrong

CINCINNATI'S LATEST HOG.

'.Let US have another tumbler, a half

young man was heard to remark, lean

the Cincinnati Enquirer. The bar
keeper complied with the young mans
request and soon this assortment of
bric-a-brac lay before him. Then fol-
lowed a most remarkable performance.
First the young fellow took up the
glass. brought it between his teeth and
in jiffy ground it to pieces. The re-
porter had hardly recovered from his
establishment when the glaSS-cheWer
took I'D the tacks and wi III wink swal-
lowed them. and not satisfied with that,
deliberately ate the cake of soap with
as much guSto as an ordinary mortal
would relish quail on toast. 1t was
Afterwards learned that this human
phenomenon is Tim Smith, living in the
neighborhood where the above feats
were performed. He showed the re-
porter another remarkable feat. which
consisted in sticking pins in all portions
of his body and withdrawing them with
out drop of blood showing where the
puncture had been made. Tim is only
eighteen years of age and would be IL
